Wang Yangming believed that studying was to become a sage since he was a child. When he was a boy, he rode a horse and traveled beyond the Great Wall, cultivating his ambition to explore the world. When he entered the official career, he was demoted and hunted down for offending the powerful eunuch Liu Jin. It can be said that it was a blessing in disguise that he gained enlightenment in Longchang and officially began to accept disciples, give lectures, and spread spiritual knowledge. From then on, whether he was quelling the thieves in southern Jiangxi or quelling the rebellion of King Ning, he flexibly applied the theory of mind and demonstrated his personal experience of "leading to conscience", "the heart is reason" and "the unity of knowledge and action". This book uses Wang Yangming's life as an outline, intersperses the political situation in the mid-Ming Dynasty, and presents the development of Wang Yangming's psychology one by one. It has an intuitive effect on understanding Wang Yangming's psychology and his personality.
